just purchased a new UV-5R. I have downloaded the latest
version of CHIRP. The first time I plugged in my cable from
the UV-5R to the usb port on my PC, running Win 7,the
computer downloaded a serial driver for the cable and
indicated that the driver was installed and is now
available. I turned on the radio while holding down the "3"
key,I received a message that the firmware release is
BFB297. </span>

I had this problem the other day. How did I fix it? Made SURE the
cable was plugged ALL THE WAY. It hadn't been.<br>
